Hi All…..

I hope this helps and stay tuned for more Gypsy Tips….

Hope you have a fabulous Friday and an even more spectacular weekend….

Cricut Lite Live Simply~Thursday Expressions

OK I know, I know….It’s been too too too long since I’ve done a Cricut video….I needed a little break, but I’m back and ready to create (or Cricut).

I really love using pattern paper when I’m working with the Cricut, it gives it the little extra pop. My secret is…I try to pick papers from the same paper collections. For the most part they pretty much already coordinate and make picking pattern paper so much easier. 

I charged up my Gypsy and…

Christmas Gift Packaging

Happy Monday,

This week’s Gypsy Spot challenge is Christmas gift packaging.
I used Cricut cartridge “Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More” and the “Christmas” solutions cartridge to make the gift box. I created the window on the gift box using the the tree from the “Christmas” cartridge and added acetate that I ran through my Big Shot with the Cuttlebug embossing folder “Snow Dots”. I also added a tag from the “Very Merry Tags” solution cartridge and dressed it up a little with some bling.
Supplies: Cricut Gypsy, Cricut Expression, Cricut cartridges-Tags, Bags, Boxes, and more, Christmas and Very Merry Tags; Pattern Paper-K&Co.; Ribbon-Paper Trey Ink, Acetate-Transparency sheets; Bling
Have a great Monday,

Christmas Stocking Card

Hi Everyone, It feels like forever since I did a regular card video.


Todays project I used the Gypsy to weld 2 shapes together to make a card. I made a Santa card for the Gypsy Spot on Monday so I thought I would show you how make one. If you don’t have the Gypsy you can do this with Design Studio as well. Enjoy!

Supplies: Gypsy (or Design Studio); Cricut Expression; Glue Glider Pro, Red and White Bazzill Cardstock, White Satin Ribbon-Stampin’ Up!, Holiday Brad-Making Memories Tinsel Collection, Martha Stewart Crystal Glitter,

Gypsy Spot

It’s Gypsy Spot day

Todays challenge is to make a shape card. I whipped out the Gypsy and some dazzling diamonds glitter and WHALAH! If I could figure out how to add a cute file I would :o)

I used Santa from the Cricut Cartridge Joys of the Season and welded it together. I love this cartridge! Wait…haven’t I said that about all my cartridges?

Supplies: Cricut Expression, Cricut Gypsy, White and Red Bazzil Cardstock, Blush Blossom Stampin’ Up! Cardstock, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Up! Glitter, black Pigma Micron 01 pen, and Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Up! ink with blender pen for Santa’s cheeks.

Head on over to the Gypsy Spot to see what the other designers have created.

Gypsy Spot Challenge Week 2

Happy Monday,

Today’s Gypsy Spot Challenge is to create something welded with 2 different cartridges.
I used my Gypsy to weld together a scallop frame Accent Essentials and a cupcake from the Celebrations cartridge. I used Bazzill Cardstock for the base of the card and My Minds Eye (29th Street Market collection) pattern paper for the frame. I added some Paper Trey Ink satin ribbon on the side of the card and then some twine to the side of the frame. The pink “Sprinkes” are Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink). I also used the opposite side of the pattern paper for the base of the cupcake and some Very Vanilla Stampin’ Up! cardstock for the top.
Be sure to stop over at the Gypsy Spot to see more designs by some very talented designers.
